Pb, Sr, Nd and Hf isotopic evidence of multiple sources for Oahu, Hawaii basalts

Nature volume 304, pages 25–29 (1983)Cite this article

Abstract

Pb, Sr, Nd and Hf isotopic compositions of Oahu volcanics indicate that the three principal volcanic series on Oahu—Koolau, Honolulu and Waianae—were derived from isotopically distinct sources. Honolulu and Waianae basalts plot on the Nd–Pb–Sr ‘mantle plane’ whereas Koolau data plot distinctly below the plane.
